Road Watch

More in this Section...

ROAD WATCH is a community-driven program that provides citizens with a means to report aggressive or unlawful driving behaviour. Instances of speeding, unsafe lane changes, disobeying traffic lights and running stop signs are some types of behaviors that qualify for a ROAD WATCH submission.

If you see an impaired driver, street racing or other behaviour that is an immediate danger to human safety, please call 9-1-1.

Once a submission is received by York Regional Police, the information will be reviewed by an officer and, if appropriate, a letter will be sent to the owner of the vehicle outlining the date, time and location of the incident. The letter will also include important messages encouraging the owner to ensure anyone who drives their vehicle, do so in a safe and responsible manner.

ROAD WATCH may be used when:

No collision occurred. If the incident resulted in a collision, please call police for further instructions

The suspect driver is not known to you. If the identity of the driver is known, call police

The suspect's licence plate number was obtained. A brief description of the vehicle is also needed to validate the licence plate information

As accurate a description as possible of the incident should be submitted. Provide as much information as possible to ensure action can be taken against the suspect vehicle owner.

It is policy of York Regional Police to accept reports of incidents that occur inside and outside of York Region. If this incident occurred outside of York Region, your report will be forwarded upon your request to the local police service for the area where the incident occurred. Please note there will be no confirmation the occurrence is being investigated. It is recommended you contact the police service having jurisdiction where the occurrence took place.
